Hi,

my customer runs 2 z/196 and is changeing the "old"-CICS/DB2/ADABAS based software to Java-based AIX-Software, where System Z is a big DB2-Datasharing DATABASE Server for this application.

From the "old" times they still have some CICS-ADABAS and CICS-DB2-Systems running.

For the IBM-Software they use the SCRT Reports (VWLC+ZNLAC), and use Groupcapping for the "old" applications. This works fine for IBM, but for SAG it does not work. They donot accept the SCRT-Reports

As far as I can remember (this goes back almost 5-6 Years), they cut a deal with SAG, paying so much as they paid before all the upgrades of the hardware occured.

SO I think you have to do some hard bargaining with them :-)

Subject: Adabas Pricing model

Hi,

I was asked today if Software AG had a sub capacity pricing model for
Adabas
and Natural.  My first inclination was to tell them to call SAG, but
they
told me that they were unable to get any kind of response back on the
question, so I tried myself, and I have not been able to get a
response
either, so I decided I would give you guys a shot.

Is anyone aware of any sites that run Adabas/Natural under a sub-
capacity
license agreement?  I think it's priced by MSU, so it makes sense that
they
would have one, but I can't tell either way.

Any comments?

Thanks for your help.

Brian
